My 2014 Tour De France estate (140BHP 4x4) has now done 98k miles and is needing a bit of time/money spent on refreshing the suspension.

I was looking at Bilstein B4 shock absorbers which are OE spec but there are two varieties.... 'standard suspension' and cars with 'sports suspension'.

I'm not really sure what spec was standard on this model and wondered if the code label in the boot would confirm ?

Was going to start with the rear which has already had lower arms and springs for the MOT last year but the rest is needing looked at.

Anti roll bar is particularly crusty along with the shock absorber tubes.

Scottish winters and road salt haven't been kind...

Thanks

Dave

The white label in the boot only has about 40 of the car's build codes, whereas the car might have around 180 build codes.

There's a seller on ebay that can supply all of the car's build codes for 3 Euros (about £2.61).

Search "skoda vin decoder" on ebay to find a seller that can supply the car's build codes

Hi Carlston, Many thanks for this detailed information, really appreciated. I'll check out that VIN decoder as that seems very useful to have. I'm assuming that my car has standard suspension at the moment unless I find out otherwise. Cheers Dave
